2863ad4bdd IB/ehca: Refactor hvcall tracing
Change hvcall trace output towards better readability: reg numbers
instead of argument numbers, return code as signed decimal instead of
unsigned hex.

e390d3b52f IB/ehca: Use remap_4k_pfn() to map firmware contexts to user space
Use Paul's new remap_4k_pfn() function to map our 4K firmware contexts
into user space on 64K-page machines without exposing neighboring
firmware contexts. Return the context's offset within a 64K page to
user space so it can determine the proper virtual address.

a855b1a742 IB/mthca: Use PCI-X/PCI-Express read control interfaces
These driver changes incorporate the proposed PCI-X / PCI-Express read
byte count interface.  Reading and setting those values doesn't take
place "manually", instead wrapping functions are called to allow
quirks for some PCI bridges.

The recent mv_fill_sg() rewrite, to fix a data corruption problem
related to IOMMU virtual merging, forgot to account for the
potentially-increased size of the scatter/gather table after its run.

Additionally, the DMA boundary is reduced from 0xffffffff to 0xffff
to more closely match the needs of mv_fill_sg().

e2a57a8159 Correct Makefile rule for generating custom keymap

  make[2]: *** No rule to make target `drivers/char/%.map', needed by `drivers/char/defkeymap.c'.  Stop.
  make[1]: *** [drivers/char] Error 2
  make: *** [drivers] Error 2

This was caused by commit af8b128719, which
deleted a necessary colon from the Makefile rule that generates the keymap,
since that rule contains both a target and a target-pattern.  The following
patch puts the colon back:

70cb97935b VT_WAITACTIVE: Avoid returning EINTR when not necessary
We should generally prefer to return ERESTARTNOHAND rather than EINTR,
so that processes with unhandled signals that get ignored don't return
EINTR.

This can help with X startup issues:

    Fatal server error:
    xf86OpenConsole: VT_WAITACTIVE failed: Interrupted system call

although the real fix is having the X server always retry EINTR
regardless (since EINTR does happen for signals that have handlers
installed). Keithp has a patch for that.

Regardless, ERESTARTNOHAND is the correct thing to use.

71e4eda8ce Fix non-terminated PCI match table in PowerMac IDE
The PCI device table in the powermac IDE driver isn't properly
terminated.  Depending on how your kernel is linked and other random
factors, you can end up with this driver matched against any other PCI
device in your system, possibly crashing at boot.

Thanks to Heikki for tracking this down with me, the bug have been there
for some time, though it rarely hurts due to luck.  In this case, the
switch from .22 to .23-rc9 is causing it to show up due to differences
in the resulting layout of .data I suppose.

proper vendor and product name entry.  Add the entry to the broken
suspend list.

9b42c336d0 [TCP]: secure_tcp_sequence_number() should not use a too fast clock
TCP V4 sequence numbers are 32bits, and RFC 793 assumed a 250 KHz clock.
In order to follow network speed increase, we can use a faster clock, but
we should limit this clock so that the delay between two rollovers is
greater than MSL (TCP Maximum Segment Lifetime : 2 minutes)

Choosing a 64 nsec clock should be OK, since the rollovers occur every
274 seconds.
